Since our formation in 1999, MicroHAMS has put on MANY field day efforts.  Some large, some small.  Some of the sites included the roof top level of the building 40/41 parking garage, the old campus recycling area and Farrel-McWhirter Park in Redmond.

During the pandemic, we leveraged both field day rules and virtual meeting tools to have field day together as a group and have the same sort of fun we enjoyed at physical field days: midnight troubleshooting, teach members new things, and generally having a great time and holding true to the spirit of field day.

In 2024, we were invited by the Boeing Everett employee's amateur radio club BEARONS (W7FLY), to join them at a wonderful site in Eastern Snohomish county called Camp Freeman, and had a GREAT field day together.  Snohomish DEM/ACS supplied a communications vehicle for the VHF+ station and a MITRU trailer to provide power and Internet to the stations.

In 2025, MicroHAMS again returned to the Camp Freeman site as the primary organizer and operated under the club call N7OS.  Snohomish ACS team again provided valuable;e additional assistance with setup and operating as well as the incredibly useful DEM-10 and MITRU trailer.  The antenna configuration was simplified to a Buddihex antenna for 20m, 15m and 10m with a triplexer and bandpass filters feeding the three Icom IC-7300 HF radios.  Dipoles were available for 40m and 80m at night.

We really do look forward to you joining us for another FUN field day!
